At last week’s Landscape Expo in Anaheim, CARB staff were onsite to help attendees navigate rules and access incentives for cleaner equipment. This kind of direct engagement is essential to support businesses, support compliance, and advance cleaner air statewide.
A group of five CARB staff members stand behind a booth table at an indoor expo. The table is covered with a white California Air Resources Board tablecloth and displays brochures and informational materials. Behind them are banners about small off-road engines and other CARB programs. The group is smiling and posing for the photo in a large convention hall.

Last week, CARB Chair @lsanchez020 told @labctweets, “California is in the how business — we’re proving the possible.”
With 2/3 of our power from renewables and 6x more clean-energy jobs than fossil fuels, California is showing the world what smart climate leadership looks like.
